Black Myth: Wukong PC Settings Guide
Black Myth: Wukong runs on Unreal Engine 5 and uses Nanite + Lumen extensively, which means the visual fidelity is remarkable but the GPU cost is unforgiving. Software Lumen is significantly cheaper than hardware ray-traced Lumen and looks nearly identical in most scenes — leave hardware ray tracing off unless you have an RTX 4070 Ti or better.
Texture quality is heavy on VRAM, so 8 GB cards should stay at 1080p with High textures. The forest and underwater levels are the most demanding zones in the game and are a good place to validate your settings — if you're stable there at your target framerate, the rest of the game will be smooth.
Scope and assumptions
Uses the shipping Unreal Engine 5 PC version and treats hardware ray tracing as optional. Results assume shader compilation has completed.
- • 1080p: High with Quality upscaling is a sensible target for modern mid-range cards.
- • 1440p: favor upscaling over the Cinematic preset, which has a steep performance cost.
- • Hardware ray tracing: enable only after establishing a stable non-RT baseline.
Troubleshooting checks
- • Test demanding forest scenes before calling a configuration stable.
- • Persistent traversal stutter may be shader or storage related and will not always respond to lower graphics settings.
